Russell Westbrook has surgery on knee, out 4-6 weeks

The path to the top of the Western Conference just got a whole lot harder for the Oklahoma City Thunder - again.

More than five months after point guard Russell Westbrook tore the meniscus in his right knee at the start of the Thunder's playoff run, he underwent arthroscopic surgery on the same knee Tuesday morning and is expected to miss the first four to six weeks of the regular season that starts Oct. 30.
